Great host lovely property
We stayed here to celebrate my wife’s birthday with her family, and we had wonderful experience. Weather was not too great during our visit but the backyard setup with bonfire and lighting made it easy to fall in love with this lovely property. Also, Jeremy and his yellow fur baby Eddie are the great host. Great communication and great hospitality. We would recommend to anyone who is looking for cute stay nearby Geneva on the lake wineries and enjoy family/friends gatherings.

Wine Country Between Milwaukee and New Jersey
Yellow Dog Retreat and the Grand River Valley is a hidden gem treat on the road between Midwest colleges (Marquette, Wisconsin, Michigan, Chicago, Notre Dame, Northwestern) and the east coast. We had a great time unwinding on the way home from college off at the many lovely vineyards in the area. The house is spotless and beautifully maintained. The back deck is extremely pleasant for relaxing with lots of space to read a book or enjoy a meal. Jeremy and Chelsea are experienced and thoughtful hosts who run a great show!

Super winery spot
Very nice renovation in the heart of vineyard country. We had 5 adults and a dog, and two more adults joined us for an overnight stay, accommodations were very comfortable. Outdoor patios are huge with plenty of seating and also a big outdoor firepit area. 5 minute car ride from all the wineries, many of them right down the street. Owners live nearby and were friendly, hospitable and genuinely cared about our stay and accommodations. We've rented a lot of condo's and vacation homes and this one is very well stocked with everything you need. No running to the big box store for households items, just bring food and you are all set. Thanks for a wonderful time.

Very personable hosts!
The most personable hosts we have ever had! Overall, we had a great experience at Yellow Dog Retreat. We had 7 adults and 3 children in our party and had enough space for all of us. The best parts of our stay: -Excellent outdoor space, deck and fire pit -Close to restaurants, wineries, grocery stores, etc -Very clean and well taken care of property Things to consider: -The water on the property is "hard," so a water cooler is on the property. If your group drinks a lot of water, you may want to consider bringing some bottled water with you -If your party is large, you may want to reuse bath towels and washcloths as there is not a washer/dryer on the property (there is a laundromat close by) -Some areas of the house can get hot in the summer (most rooms have window air conditioners, but not all) Overall we had a great time and would book again!

Another Wonderful Stay!
My friends and I had a great time at The Yellow Dog Retreat! The House is close to Rte 90 and all the wineries. It is charming with all the quant touches. Jeremy and Chelsey are the best hosts. They check in to see if everything is going well and if there are any issues. And of course the Yellow Dogs, Eddie and Brucey coming to visit. Always a lovely time! My friends loved it. ThankYou!
